Iron Baltic HDPE Skid Plates Initial Review
The package was ordered on a Tuesday and delivered by Friday to Toronto, Canada. All contents were neatly and securely packed for the international shipment. I did a quick inventory and all contents arrived exactly as I ordered….even a few extra washers and nuts as a bonus.
I was only able to raise the ATV up on blocks which gave me enough room to crawl underneath for the install. Not ideal but I was able to make it work. Instructions and pictures were clear enough to comprehend and everything was going great, until it wasn’t.
As I got to the 2nd to last piece, the front nose plate, I realized right away that the piece I had was not going to fit my machine – too long and not the correct angles. Frustration set in. I checked the website only to find out that I had ordered skid plate set for Outlander G2 Max instead of the Outlander G2 L Max. I’m such a goof.
A quick email to Nils Laur at Iron Baltic confirmed my error. Nils offered to send the nose piece + hardware I needed for a small fee. By the end of the week the project was done.
Long story short….Great initial review of the product – hardware, panel fits, etc are all top notch. Excellent customer support. Make sure you don’t repeat my mistake! And I have a nose piece and rear arm guards sitting in my garage if anyone wants to make me an offer! Nils even offered to make a deal on getting the rest of the package you would need to complete the build. PM me if interested.

02 Scrambler 500 4×4
I purchased a 02 polaris scambler 500 4×4 it had a push button start that I know isnt
Stock so I disconnected and wired everything back to normal now I have lights but when I turn key nothing so I used the key switch on my 250 trailblazer and it works just fine
Test both circuit breakers and I have power and they are both normally closed.
I checked solenoid I have power on battery side..when key is on I dont have power on other side so am I safe to say its the solenoid?
Please any help you guys can give me will my next weekend more enjoyable

Ignition power issue
Battery is full charge. Tested power at ignition and it’s only 5.4 v. Cut that wire and run jumper from hot on solenoid. Won’t turn over. Run another jumper from ign side to coil and fires up and runs. Just gotta pull jumper from coil to kill it. Running it like that to long will kill the coil I think.
From my understanding the power goes from battery to CDI to ign to coil.
I get no voltage at the Cdi plugs with ign on.
I do get power at the ecm though..
With the scenario obove, what ya think?
CDI box pooched?
